Beith Golf Club

Don't be put of by the yardage, this is a good, challenging test of golf especially the more mature front 9.Perched on the hills overlooking Beith, on a clear day from the 6th tee you can look north east and see Ben Lomond, turn 180 degrees and you are looking at Arran.

The front 9 is the higher section of the course with a good selection of interesting, varied holes including, in my opinion, the signature 6th hole. Apart from the fantastic views from the tee, it just "looks like a golf hole" from the elevated tee position to the distant green with a jungle of gorse up the right, beware playing in a south easterly wind.

The clubhouse is basic but cosy and friendly with great views and excellent, cheap bar meals (beware ordering the "full breakfast" if any less than a four-ball to share). Well worth a visit, not Geneagles or Turnberry but visit on a nice day during the season and you will have an enjoyable day of golf (for a lot less money)
